When you are dating potential instead of reality

John 15:12

Jesus calls us to love one another as He has loved us.

When you are dating potential instead of reality. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. Love does not require you to ignore wisdom. Jesus Christ can teach you to love people without handing them authority He never gave them. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Jesus Christ, I release my need to control how this turns out. Help me steward what You actually placed in my hands and trust You with what You did not. Amen.
